Mc Farland, the “cotton king of east Texas.” His 40 acres yielded 80 bales last year, whereas in many sections farmers got only one bale from two or three acres. The winner of several prizes In “more and better cotton on fewer acres” contests. McFarland credits his success to improved methods of fanning, including the intelligent use of commercial fertilizer. On his record crop he applied 350 pounds of 4-12-4 fertilizer in the bedded rows, which were ap proximately 3 feet apart. After the cotton was planted, he added a side dressing of 150 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. Later in the season he added another 150 pounds to the acre. Weeds were kept down and proper soil mulch was maintained by cultivation. Most of the plants fruited heavily, some having as many as 180 bolls to the stalk. • I CHILD HELD Aft PRISONER M STOCKTON.
